That is quite possible as the results of the recent .CLUB launching show that it generated a lots of interest in a short period of time. The .CLUB registry is now number 3 on the list of most registered domain names with 37 806 domains registered and .EMAIL is in position 6 (source http://ntldstats.com/).

.WINE and .VIN : "la politique de l'Autruche"
All parties following the .WINE & .VIN Opera already know about the latest ICANN publication (see the link below). Let's hope we have a decision from the board starting June 3, 2014:
"... In response, the NGPC accepted that GAC advice and directed ICANN Staff not to commence the contracting process for the applications for .WINE and .VIN for 60 days. That 60-day hold period, which expires June 3, 2014, was implemented by the NGPC to “provide additional time for the relevant impacted parties to negotiate, which they are encouraged to do.”
ICANN encourages all interested parties to use the 60-day hold period to continue to negotiate and seek common ground and hopes that these efforts will result in improved outcomes to all parties".

Letter from Keith Besgrove (Australian Government) regarding the new gTLD applications for .WINE and .VIN
"The Australian Government is concerned that proposals being put forward for additional conditions could unduly limit the legitimate use of GI-related terms, and unfairly restrict access to online avenues of trade. Domain names themselves are not GIs, and terms relating to GIs can legitimately be used as part of a domain name for a range of purposes. For example, the term champagne is recognised as a GI in Australia and, as a result, sparkling wine made in Australia may not be labelled as champagne. However, it is acceptable for an Australian wine retailer to sell champagne [that is, wine that is produced in the French region of Champagne under the rules of appellation]. It is also acceptable for Australian entities to use the word champagne in business names and domain names, such as champagnedistributors.wine. In this example, the existing safeguards for new would appropriately prohibit a fraudulent or deceptive use of that domain name, and require a process to deal with any complaints that may arise. Conditions additional to these could inappropriately obstruct legitimate trade".

Des nouvelles extensions Internet pour faire face au phishing?
Un tout petit article pour expliquer en quoi une nouvelle extension est utile pour mieux faire face à une attaque de phishing.
"En effet, il est beaucoup plus visuel d’indiquer à un client de repérer qu’un email est bien issu d’une adresse ou d’un site Internet se terminant en .ORANGE qu’un .COM. Le véritable avantage de posséder son extension Internet est de pouvoir informer son client en amont sur la véracité de l’information qu’il reçoit ou va recevoir. Pour simplifier: “tout ce qui ne vient pas de mon .MARQUE, ce n’est pas de moi”."
